Spring Picture Day: Tuesday, March 4th
Spring Picture day is Tuesday. On this day class group photos will be taken and scholars have the option to sit for indivudal pictures.
All scholars will sit for the class group photo, but only those who pay for indivudal pictures will sit for those (unlike our Fall pictures in which everyone gets a photo taken).
Families have the option to send money on Tuesday or pay online. Please note that all money should be sent with your scholars to be collected by the photo company or if you're able we strongly encourage online payment. The front office will not accept any picture day money and cannot make any change.
Please reach out to your child's homeroom teacher with any questions. Thank you.

Valentine's Day Announcement
We know Valentine's Day is special, but we ask that we limit what is sent to school and discourage any deliveries.
Flowers, balloons, stuffed animals, and chocolates/sweets cannot be delivered to the classroom or go home on the bus. If those items are sent to school they will have to remain in the front office and will have to be picked up by an adult by 2:50 PM. The office will not remain open after 2:50 for gift pickup.
We suggest saving that special gift for at home and celebrating Valentine's Day at home as a family.
Additionally, the same applies to gifts given between scholars. Students should not bring excessive gifts for one another. Flower arrangements, balloons, chocolates/candy, and stuffed animals may not be carried from class to class and must be stored in the office. Those items may not go home on the bus and must be picked up before 2:50 PM.
If scholars want to treat one another we suggest a small card, a small piece of candy, or even better buy a Candy Gram as part of our February service project.
We acknowledge tomorrow is a day for kindness and love, but we also are committed to teaching and learning. Thank you for understanding and your support.
